Giovanni Rucellai (1475-1525) was an Italian humanist, poet, dramatist and man of letters. He was also an important figure in the fields of commerce and politics, being in his lifetime the third richest man in Florence, a situation that was added to by his marrying into the powerful Strozzi and Medici families. As the effective head of the Rucellai family, he commissioned the building of the Palazzo Rucellai, designed by Leon Battista Alberti. He was a cousin of Pope Leo X.
